Beethoven once declared that he wanted his music to intoxicate humanity, and for raw, unbuttoned joie-de-vivre there’s still nothing to match his barnstorming Seventh Symphony. The “Pastoral” Symphony, meanwhile, is music’s supreme hymn to nature, as stirring as it is serene. Together, they make a gloriously satisfying pairing, and this “clear-headed and joyous” account of the “Pastoral” (Financial Times) was one of the highlights of Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s July 2021 Beethoven cycle with his beloved Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Captured live at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, these are performances that reveal Beethoven through fresh eyes – as if the ink is still wet upon the score.
- Ensemble:
- Chamber Orchestra Of Europe
- Conductor:
- Yannick Nézet-Séguin
